Stockley Bridge, Borrowdale, Cumbria - Stone Bridges on Waymarking.com

The bridge was widened in 1887, only to be severely damaged after the storms of September 1966 after 5 inches of rain in an hour, and then have the walls rebuilt. It has 15 foot span with 6 ft 4 ins between parapets. It is on the packhorse route from Seathwaite over Sty Head Pass to Wasdale. This route was considered for upgrade to road capable of carrying wheeled coaches.
